My Top 5 Favorites for 2011

Everyone else is doing their top 10 favorites, but since I have been such a blog slacker I can't gather 10, because well, that would be just about everything I made last year. :-/ I just can't seem to find the time since getting a full time job. It's my first FT job in over a decade so the balance of life has been very challenging!

Even though your list is short, it is certainly sweet. I couldn't imaging finding crafting time if I had a full time job. The few things you did find time to make are really super. I hope you can find a little more 'me' time next year.

They're all beautiful!And are you kidding me?You've had a FT job...being a mom is 24/7 hostile negotiations...budget balancing...maid...chef...chauffeur...name it!!Now...you happen to be one of those that has 2 FT jobs...and no extra hours in the day :(Hope you have a wonderful...and possibly...craftier 2012! :)Happy New Year!

Oh wow do you ever know how to work that Friendship Jar image, Susan! I just love the thank you note with the gladiolas!! Amazing job on these! PS...I hear you pain...my job puts a serious damper on my creativity, too ;)

Well you know those purple butterflies is one of my favorites! I am looking at it right this minute. I am so glad you shared all your cards with us, pretty soon you will be right in the swing of working and finding time to create for yourself, so I predict there will many more cards for 2012! Happy New Year my friend!

ha ha, that would be me too, Susan, this was not a very prolific year for me creatively! I have to say though, what you might lack in quantity you sure do make up for in quality, each and every one of these is so BEAUTIFUL!!!

Your cards are a perfect example of QUALITY over Quantity :-) Every one of them is perfect. I have to admit, my mouth dropped open a bit on that last one. The detail is amazing. You really rocked it! Happy New Year! I have a FT job too so I feel your pain! (and its not nearly as fun as playing with stamps!)

These are all gorgeous and I love the colors in the first card. I'm a SAHM (who homeschools too) and I can only imagine trying to find the balance if I were to go back to work FT. Thanks for sharing these, they are all beautifully done! Looking forward to seeing more this year (no pressure! lol!). :)

It's not the quantity, but the quality, and you've got some stunning cards here! I adore the first one with the blooming branch and birds - just gorgeous, and fabulous colouring and idea for the second one of putting YOF into the jar especially. TFS!

Welcome to my little ole blog!

Hello and Welcome! I love to create with paper crafts. Scrapbooking is my first love, but I'm quickly adding stamping, sewing, furniture refinishing and jewelry making to my list of hobbies. Getting to play in my craft room is my therapy after taking care of my VERY energetic kids. Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear from you!
